“Grok says”

Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order in his first day as mayor on Thursday revoking all orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after his indictment on federal corruption charges, including two that he had touted as support for Israel. Here's what to know.

Because he revoked the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was the widely contested equivocation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism - which one of the original drafters said is now being weaponised.

2/2 ICYMI. Stern said the Segal plan for a 'university report card' on antisemitism is "a horrible place to go". Worries the IHRA definition would be "used to try and stigmatize pro-Palestinian speech". This is the result, when the govt's envoy works for Israel. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Question: Who exactly provided crucial space for the grammar of the powerful to find & create broad and sustained resonance? Who co-painted a picture of „men of decorum“ while masking their cruelty in power play stories? Who hid their own wrongdoing in phantasms such as „objectivity“ & „neutrality“?

No one bats an eye at this, but it has always been a curiosity of mine how CBS, NBC, and ABC offer essentially the same news product. They might occasionally depart from one another in editorial judgment, but the standards and practices do not vary much, and the talent is interchangeable... 1/2

“When I look at Mamdani, I didn’t see some radical departure from the past. I see him as the heir to an old and venerable Jewish tradition – that of Yiddish socialism – which helped build New York.”

As fascist dictator Francisco Franco’s reputation -along with attempts to sanitize his legacy- grows on the far right in the US, Spain and Latin America, a history of his regime reminds us of its unrelenting violence and antisemitism. Via @nybooks.com www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Das sagt Volker Bouffier im ZEIT-Interview. Ich habe die Untersuchungsausschüsse in Hessen zur extremen Rechten eng beobachtet - und die hessischen Behörden haben jahrelang, auch unter Bouffier, die extreme Rechte unterschätzt. Und der letzte Satz spricht für sich. www.zeit.de/2026/01/volk...

Da es ja um Israel geht — das in Gaza in zwei Jaren zehntausende paläst. Menschen ermordet hat und auch weiter mordet — warum nicht paläst. Betroffene aufs Podium einladen? Menschen, deren Familien ermordet wurden? Wenn man es ernst damit meint auszuloten, wie weit Kritik Israels in D gehen darf.
